Fiordland Crested Penguin (Eudyptes pachyrhynchus)

December 2017
Wellington Zoo's hospital, The Nest, has viewing rooms where animals such as this penguin can be seen while recovering.

See here for the story on the Fiordland Crested Penguins currently at the zoo: Wellington Zoo caring for two injured endangered penguins

EDIT: the two penguins were released back to the wild in the South Island in December, just a week or so after this photo was taken.
